HARROW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 23, 1907.

Application filed February 12, 1907. Serial No. 357,023.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLIFFORD H. FoRsHEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Peerless, in the county of Delaware and State of Ohio, haveinvented a new and useful Harrow, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention has relation to harrows and it consists in the novelconstruction and arrangement of its parts as hereinafter shown anddescribed.

The object of the invention is to provide a harrow which is composed ofa series of bands made of sheet metal and pivotally connected at theirsides directly together and linked to a cross bar. The bands are made ofstrips which are pivotally connected together by bolts. Suitable meansare provided for attaching draft animals to the cross bar. The bands arearranged to pass along the surface of the ground with their lower edgesin contact with the same and as the bands pass over the tops. of furrowsthey drag the earth from the said tops into the valleys between thefurrows and thus cut and level the soil.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view of the harrow.Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the bar of the same, andFig. 3 is a sectional view of the hands out on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

The harrow consists of the bar 1 to which are attached the links 2, 2which serve as draft means for the implement. The eyes 3, 3 are attachedto the said bar 1 and are disposed rearwardly' with relation to thesame.

ach of the bands 4 is provided with a perforation 5 which receives oneof the eyes 3. The bolts 6 secure the sides of the bands di- The pivotalconnec' bility as to enable the bands to move along the surface ofuneven ground without forcing one or more of the bands to out too deepbelow the surface.

The advantages of the presentinvention are its simplicity ofconstructionand incidental cheapness and when not in use the eyes 3 maybe removed from the cross bar 1 and together with the bands may be hungup upon pegs when the implement is stored out of the way and takes upbut small space.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is r 1. A harrow comprising a bar, eyes attached tothe bar, bands attached to the eyes and bolts pivotally connecting thesides of the bands directly together.

2. A harrow comprising a bar, eyes at tached to the bar, bands havingperforations which receive said eyes and bolts pivotally connecting thesides of the bands directly together. a

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
